This total parenteral nutrition calculator provides an empiric dose for the macronutrients included in a TPN formulation. In addition to providing an initial recommended dose, you may alter the contents of each macronutrient while maintaining a specified daily caloric requirement.
Children under 3 years of age should have their teeth brushed by an adult. The use of fluoridated toothpaste in this age group is determined by the level of risk. Parents should consult a health professional to determine whether a child up to 3 years of age is at risk of developing tooth decay.
As your child's teeth start to appear (generally around 6 months), you'll need to start brushing them. (If your child is healthy and still hasn't gotten her first tooth by the end of her first year, don't worry â some children don't start getting teeth until 15 to 18 months.) Brush twice a day. Brush in the morning and right before bedtime. Use a baby toothbrush with a small head and grip suitable for your hand. Use a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste. To avoid giving your child too much fluoride, use a thin smear of toothpaste or a dot the size of a grain of rice.
